Nah. We're still moving, just not towards the future we envisioned. It's one of the problems with SF; people don't want to live in the hard-edged, jumpsuited future of golden age (or silver age) SF. The future won't be a radical departure from the past. Which makes it harder to envision.
I think this is a good thing for all of us, though. There are a lot of things I want to save.
I think this is sort of the stub of a failed piece of writing. In my head it was a good bit larger, and more about a particular, subjective, entirely personal sense of the present moment in history and its shittier elements. It didn't quite get there.
Loser.
Biotch.
